Chapter 266: Our prince is going to the nunnery to have fun
The Seventh Prince was originally a violent temper, and when he got excited, his voice naturally became louder.
The entourage behind them naturally heard his words clearly.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Some even whispered about it.
"Do you hear that? Our prince is going to the nunnery to have fun. ”
"The Seventh Prince is so loud, it's strange that he can't hear it."
"Lord Wang...... Probably looking for a fresh, what is the taste of the six pure nuns? ”
"But isn't that a bit excessive?"
……
Zhu Gaoxuan was speechless.
It's like once a label is tagged, it's too hard to take it off.
Even if you're, there's no need to go to a nunnery to have fun?
These seven grandfathers are still quite imaginative.
He told his men behind him to stop.
Then, after a little more distance from them, he laughed twice.
"Grandpa Seven is really joking, how can I go to that kind of place to have fun? Seventh Grandpa still remembers that when his father conquered Mongolia a few years ago, he wiped out a tribe called Manqiu? ”
The Seventh Prince frowned.
"Of course I remember, I also went with His Majesty at that time. The tribe was small, but its leader was brave and skilled. ”
"They have always been friendly with Mongolia and have done the right thing with us. But even so, His Majesty has no intention of killing them. ”
Later, I saw that they were really obsessed, so they had to kill the killer. That time, it was really a bloody battle, and we almost annihilated all the people of the Manqiu tribe. Only a few young children were spared! ”
Thinking of the fierce battle at the beginning, the Seventh Prince still remembers it vividly.
Zhu Gaoxuan sighed.
"My father is benevolent, but he forgets the truth that if you don't cut the grass and don't get rid of the roots, you will leave trouble. The children at the beginning. If it grows up to now, it is estimated that it will not be small. It's hard to guarantee that someone will be thinking about revenge. ”
The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment.
"You mean to say that there are remnants of that tribe that are now hiding in that nunnery?"
Zhu Gaoxuan smiled slightly.
"It's just a suspicion, so I'm going to take this opportunity to verify it!"
The Seven Kings' faces were ugly.
"Why bother? As you said, if you don't cut the grass and don't get rid of the roots, you will leave trouble. We're just going to wipe out that nunnery. ”
Zhu Gaoxuan sighed.
"But what if it involves the people in the palace? If we involve people in the palace, we act rashly, and we will die without proof in the future, and if we don't do it well, we will be condemned. ”
The face of the Seventh Prince became even more ugly.
"What if it's even if it's the people in the palace? It's not a trivial matter, it's related to the stability of our Ming Dynasty, does anyone dare to show favoritism? ”
Zhu Gaoxuan shook his head.
"If it was someone else, it wouldn't be fine. But this person is our concubine. The seventh grandfather should also know that his father treats the concubine as his biological mother, and even treats the eldest princess Mingzhu as his biological sister. And the princess is the heart of the concubine Niangniang......"
The Seventh Prince's eyes widened suddenly.
He never dreamed that this matter would implicate the eldest princess.
But when you think about it together, it seems that everything makes sense.
"The eldest princess was originally picked up by the concubine on the side of the road, and her identity is indeed suspicious."
"And her illness a few years ago was also very strange, so many imperial doctors can't see her illness well, how can they give a good look at a charlatan of unknown origin?"
"And she's been going to go by once a year over the years...... It seems that there are indeed many doubts. ”
Zhu Gaoxuan nodded.
"So, I'm going to have to get to the bottom of it. But this is inevitably a bit dangerous, the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light, so I don't want the seventh grandfather to go with me! ”
The Seventh Prince shook his head.
"If I don't go with you, I'm afraid you won't be able to argue with many things. I'd better go with you! ”
The words of the Seventh Prince also have their own sense.
Zhu Gaoxuan didn't stop him.
But in order to avoid being too big and suspicious, they distanced themselves from the accompanying guards, and everyone disguised themselves and acted separately.
In just two days, they arrived at their destination.
A group of four people settled at an inn in a nearby town.
After a long journey, the old prince was already a little exhausted, so he rested directly on the soft couch.
Zhu Gaoxuan called Xiao Er, who brought water, to ask.
"I see that you are a little desolate here, and I guess the common people have a hard time in normal times. However, the land around here is fertile, so it is said that it is not enough. ”
The second year is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he feels sharp and talkative.
"It is true that the land around here is fertile, and the annual harvest is good, but after the tax, there is still not much left......
This is strange.
Although Zhu Gaoxuan's cheap father is not a wise man through the ages, he was still diligent and loved the people when he was in power, so the taxes were reduced and reduced.
The crops on their side are good, and there should be a lot of surplus after they go to the tax, so why is there not much left?
Is there something greasy in this?
Before Zhu Gaoxuan could get to the bottom of it, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but speak.
"My family doesn't farm, but I heard that the imperial court only collects a few dollars in taxes per acre, which is less than half of the harvest. If the land is fertile, it is only about two-thirds of the tenths. Isn't it different here than anywhere else? ”
That Xiao Er should have been in contact with a lot of people in normal times, so he knows a lot of things, "I've heard from past guests before that taxes in other places are not as high as ours. There's no way around it. ”
Zhu Gaoxuan frowned.
"Are you local officials here very domineering?"
Xiao Er sighed.
"Nothing else, just taxes...... It is said that our magistrate here is related to the eldest princess of the imperial court. And the eldest princess is the emperor's younger sister, which we ordinary people can afford to offend. ”
I see.
Zhu Gaoxuan did not continue to ask.
The Seventh Prince also lost his sleepiness at this time.
"Little Er, there is something I want to ask you, but don't tell anyone else."
Xiao Er looked confused.
"What's the matter? Just ask, and I'll know everything. ”
At this time, the old prince took out a piece of silver and handed it to Xiao Er.
"I heard that you have a Fengyue Nunnery here, and there are a few beautiful nuns and thieves in it, and many people hook up with the nuns there, I don't know if it's true or not!"
Xiao Er's eyes lit up when he saw the silver, and he didn't refuse, and took it with both hands, "It's right for you to ask me about this, there are indeed a few unscrupulous nuns in that Fengyue Nunnery, but they are only a few." The owner of the nunnery is decent, and the people below hide her ...... when they make small moves."
